Kitchen faucet problems we fix in Bloomingdale
We install kitchen faucets in Bloomingdale: the old one off, seized shut-off valves replaced when needed, the new faucet mounted to fit your sink holes and every supply connection checked under pressure.
Hole count doesn't match the new faucet
Sinks and counters have one to four holes. A deck plate covers unused holes, or they can hold a soap dispenser, side sprayer or filtered-water tap.
Old two-handle faucet with a side sprayer
If the side sprayer dribbles and the handles drip, it's time for a new faucet. One-handle pull-downs are the usual replacement.
Drip from the spout that won't stop
Drips that keep going no matter how you set the lever point to the cartridge. It's a repair on a good faucet and a replacement on a tired one.
Pull-down sprayer that won't retract
If the spray head won't dock, the weight on the hose may have slipped or the hose is rubbing on the disposal or drain. We reset it.
Shut-off valves that won't turn
If the valves under the sink are stuck, we shut the water elsewhere and install new ones before connecting the faucet.
Faucet loose or wobbling on the sink
If the faucet turns or tilts when you push the handle, the nut below has backed off. We secure it from inside the cabinet.
Leaking from the handle
Leaks at the lever come from the valve inside the body. We replace the cartridge or the whole faucet, depending on its age.

Kitchen Faucet Installation questions from Bloomingdale homeowners
Repair or replace a dripping faucet?
If the faucet is fairly new and parts are available, repair. If it's old, corroded or leaking in several places, replace.
Can you install a faucet I already bought?
Of course. Have it on site, and we'll fit it with new supply lines.
Can a handyman install a kitchen faucet?
Illinois requires plumbing work to be done by licensed plumbers. We send a licensed plumber, so the valves and connections are covered too.
Can you add a filtered-water faucet?
Yes. A separate filtered tap can use an existing hole or a new one, with the filter mounted under the sink.
Do I need a plumber to install a faucet?
We recommend it, especially when the shut-off valves are old or the faucet needs a new hole. A licensed plumber makes the connections on every faucet we install.
Does faucet installation need a Bloomingdale building permit, and who files it?
Permits go through Building & Zoning Department, phone (630) 671-5660. When your scope needs one, we prepare the application and schedule the inspections.
Bloomingdale contractor registration: do kitchen contractors need it?
No registration application or fee to work as a contractor in Bloomingdale. Permit submittals need a detailed written scope of work. We take care of that before work starts.
What is Bloomingdale doing about lead water lines?
Village has a service line material inventory (available from Public Works, 630-671-5800). A filter certified for lead reduction is a sensible step until your line is confirmed or replaced.
Is Bloomingdale water hard, and does it matter for faucet installation?
Bloomingdale's water source: Purchased from DuPage Water Commission; Lake Michigan water supplied via City of Chicago. Aerators and cartridges scale faster with harder water.
Bloomingdale plumbing code: who can do the plumbing for faucet installation?
Plumbing license required depending on permit type, and a Letter of Intent is required for all plumbing work. Our plumbing connections are made by licensed plumbers.
